A favorite of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s was to combine Chest and Back exercises into a superset. That means doing two exercises in a row without stopping. For example: he would do a set of Flat Barbell Bench Press and then immediately do a set of Chinups without rest. Arnold would continue like that until all 5 sets were finished.
Supersetting Chest and Back is an excellent way to build muscle, sweat out toxins and burn bodyfat because it’s very hard work.
Example Chest/Back Superset Routine:
Flat Barbell Bench Press superset with Chinups – 5 sets / 5-12 reps per set of Bench Press, as many chinups as possible per set
Incline Barbell Bench Press superset with Barbell Bent Rows – 5 sets / 5-12 reps per set
Chest Dumbbell Flyes superset with T-Bar Rows – 5 sets / 8-12 reps per set

Extremely exhausting, but you can have an arms only day next session which is allways the most fun to me

I would go for chest and triceps

I used to do that back in the day when I followed Arnold's routine. It's a long workout. If you have the energy for it, give it a try.

This workout is perfect for cswol, he only needs to pull the bench underneath the chinning bar and he's got an all-in-one solution.

It's great. Just takes time and energy, both of which I lack today. Often I have to do short workouts and it becomes chest, back, arms and shoulders, legs separately but if I had the time I would do more chest/back workouts.

Used to do chest and back as bencing works the lats a bit depending on how you bench.
But prefer to do chest shoulders tri as recover better
